ACOUSTIC OPEN MIC EVERY WEDNESDAY AT DOGHOUSE PUB on KUYKENDAHL Every Wednesday night I host an open mic acoustic contest at Doghouse Pub at 17500 Kuykendahl (281-528-7770), and every Wednesday night I give away $150 to the person that wins that contest...CA$H!!! It's quite simple...get there somewhere around 8pm, sign up and play 15-20 minutes of originals OR covers. Once everyone in the contest has played, I call everyone back up and the crowd is the judge. The more people that clap and scream for you, the more chance you have to win, so I suggest you gather some friends and come out. It's over between 11 and midnight and there is some great talent there so come out and participate in and/or support live acoustic music on the northside!! No cover, no entry fee, cheap drinks and they have awesome pizzas!!! I provide the PA and acoustic guitar.
